Post title: Wordfast Server + client
Hi all, I just stumbled upon this thread.
Why not try Wordfast Server?
It is a software you install on any Windows computer or Windows server. It will happily host your TMs and glossaries up until massive sizes and have extremely sharp and fast response times. Powerful concordance too.
BTW: It's free for freelancers (not agencies or organizations of any kind) for up to three client connections simultaneously.
Clients:
_You can connect all WF CAT tools to it.
_If you want a web-based version, you can open a Wordfast Anywhere account (free) and connect your TMs and glossaries from your own web server to it. I have tried it and it works!
_You just need to get the API (for TMs and gloss combinations) from your local server install, and then add it your client (WFA, WFPro, WF Classic).
_If you're good at programming, you can make your own UI to make API calls to your server (concordance searches etc.).
If some of you want additional information please ask specific questions, I can try to explain a little more.
Otherwise, I'm preparing a video series on this (slow process though) and I have existing videos describing the API connection system on my FI2Pro channel. CAT Guru also has some old ones on WF Server.
That's an interesting and powerful setup, if some of you actually get to do it, let me know how you feel about it.
Hope this helps
My bests :)
